Unfortunately, I have had experience first hand with the "Gypsy" culture here in the USA. And those experiences have not been positive. I have thought of them in the past in a more "romantic" view, until I came face to face with them. There was no misunderstanding. Perhaps those in the USA do not follow the same ethics as those in other countries. However, the music I have heard from this is very haunting.

Response to comment #1 — June 19, 2007 @ 07:36AM —MAS: Johnny Depp is a fan and friend of the Romanian string band, Taraf de Ha�douks, featured in the film. Unfortunately, even in this "day of enlightenment" many people still hold on to old stereotypes and he is talking about those that so many older Hollywood films show of gypsies as dangerous, as thieves, and the like. Johnny is trying to make a point and further enlighten those people who would still have such views, and I am sure that is why he appeared in the film...

My great-grandparents were gypsies. I can't help but wonder what Mr. Depp believed that's not true. In these days of enlightenment, why would anyone believe stereotypes about ANY group?
